special20:AverageAmericanGuy: Anyway, like I was saying, Tang is the fruit of the powdered drink aisle. You can mix it with water, boil it into tea, bake it with donuts, saute it in Chinese food. There's Tang-milk, Tang coolers, Tang and vodka. That's about it.

No sir, that is NOT it. I used to like sprinkling it on top of vanilla ice cream. It tasted just like a Creamsicle.

Same here! I would wait until the ice cream softened a bit (this was in the days before consumer microwave ovens) and mix it in. I even also said it tasted like a Creamsicle.

He would have been more correct in saying that he didn't like Tang rather than it "sucked". Tang was better than my grammy's Kool Aid. She made it with saccharine and lived on Dauphin Island, AL so the water had that really nasty beach water taste. ((shudder))

The guy is 83 and a national hero. As an early astronaut, he probably gets questions and comments about Tang all the time. I'm guessing he's just sick of hearing about it.

I think Armstrong realized that as the first human to set foot on another celestial body his name would go down in history and didn't want to allow his daily life after the moon landing to taint that legacy in any way. Buzz has been free to be a bad ass because his name will be forgotten long before Armstrong's is.

Burr:Mr. Titanium: How is it suddenly "being a douche" for being honest and consistent?

Because he is taking precious childhood moments and exposing them for what they are. He is shedding the clean cut all american astronaut image that the government made for him and it makes people uncomfortable.

If Tang is your "precious childhood moment", you have my sincere sympathies.
